Best Supporting Actor

I must say that I am utterly surprised at the result of the winner of this category. Alan Arkin gave an outstanding performance as a grandfather wishing only for his young, uniquely awkward granddaughter’s win of a California beauty pageant. But for the Academy to pass both Mark Wahlberg and Eddie Murphy was absurd. Arkin’s role required no added talent, and while one can not compare the Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild awards, Murphy should have received this award.
